My last article featured a hunt during which I chased down and shot two hogs. I was disappointed my camera was switched off when it happened. It just so happened when I least expected it a similar chase ensued while the film was rolling.[…]
After a roller coaster ride of weather throughout the first split of the 2012-13 waterfowl season, it was only fitting that the Coastal and East zones would close on a balmy weekend to kick off December.

Susan Roe and her son-in-law, Dale McPhearson, have a good-natured ongoing feud, and it revolves around hunting bucks on family property in Caddo, DeSoto and Red River parishes.

Otherwise, there was silence.
I felt rather than heard something behind me on the riverbank. I turned but saw nothing. It happened again. The third time, I barely turned my head and peeked out of one corner of my eye. […]
There is no question speckled trout have to eat during the winter, but that doesn’t mean they eat the same way they do during the summer.[…]
Capt. Nick Poe just knew back in June he would be having one of the most hellacious fall and winter fishing seasons he had ever experienced on the Calcasieu estuary.[…]
